7.8 Spread, Service Charges and Additional Fees

7.8.1 Spread If you elect to have a Money Transfer paid to a recipient in a currency other than the currency of the transfer amount you pay to us (“Payout Currency”), a retail exchange rate may be applied in addition to any service charge appearing on the face of your Contract Note. The Payout Currency for such Money Transfer is acquired by us at a wholesale rate that fluctuates, but may approximate the wholesale rate for such Payout Currency listed in newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal®. The difference between the retail exchange rate applied to such Money Transfer transaction and the wholesale exchange rate at which we acquired the Payout Currency will be kept by us as revenue, in addition to any Service Charges.

7.8.2 Services Charges and Additional Fees In consideration of your use of Our Services, you agree to pay a service charge per Trade, Payment Service or any other service executed through Our Website. The service charge will be charged to the credit card, debit card, or bank account you identify as the payment method for your transaction. The service charge (in addition to any other applicable fees charged by us directly or on behalf of any U.S. federal or state governmental authority) will be displayed online for your authorization prior to submission of the Trade or Payment Service. Our service charge schedule is subject to change from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion. In addition to any fees charged by us, a Money Transfer may be subject to additional fees assessed by the U.S. federal government, the U.S. state where the Money Transfer originates, the government of the destination country, or the financial institution in the destination country at which your recipient holds a bank account.

As a customer, you agree not to attempt to circumvent the parameters of Our Services by using a different debit or credit card or bank account, entering false information, creating additional Accounts or any other means. When you submit a Payment Service transaction, the recipient’s bank is not required to accept it. You agree that you will not hold us liable for any damages resulting from a recipient’s bank’s decision not to accept a Payment Service transaction made though Our Services. Any unclaimed, refunded or denied payment will be returned to you or to the original payment method. We will return any unclaimed Payment Service to you, via the original payment method, within ten (10) days of the date we are informed that the recipient’s bank has rejected your Payment Service transaction.

14. PAYMENT SERVICES REGULATIONS

This clause 14 (and its sub-clauses) explains certain important rights and obligations, including our liability to you, under the laws that govern our provision of money transmission services to you (“Regulations”). After a foreign exchange trade is completed, or we are otherwise holding funds pending performance of a Payment Service, we cannot hold onto such funds indefinitely and must send them either to the account where our client has directed us to send them or back to our client. This clause 14 (and its sub-clauses) applies to any Money Transfer governed by the Regulations which you ask us to perform for you once the Trade has been completed. This clause 14 (and its sub-clauses) does not apply to the Trade or to any payment you make to us for the Trade, or to any payment we make to any person, or any person makes to us, in order to perform the Trade.

14.1 Information and notifications concerning a Money Transfer

14.1.1 The Regulations require us to provide certain information and notifications to you concerning any Money Transfer we perform for you.

14.2.1 We will only accept an instruction to perform a Money Transfer which is given to us in writing. Your instruction in writing, including all the details we require (including relating to Your Nominated Account(s)), to perform a Money Transfer will be treated by us as your consent to us to go ahead with and our authorization to perform that Money Transfer.

14.2.2 Further information and explanation about the steps you need to take to authorize us to perform a Money Transfer for you will be given to you when you ask us to perform a transaction for you and can be found on Our Website.

14.3 Withdrawal of consent to carry out a Money Transfer

• (b) you cancel the Money Transfer in accordance with your cancellation rights as described in the Contract Note; or
• (c) we agree in writing with you that we will not do so.

14.3.2 For the avoidance of doubt, if the instructions in your notice are unclear we will not treat your consent to the Money Transfer as being withdrawn and we will proceed with the Money Transfer. For the purposes of clause 14.3.1(a) “not later than the end of the last Business Day” means not later than 5:00 pm Pacific on that Business Day.

14.3.3 Where, in accordance with clause 14.3.1, you instruct us that you no longer wish us to carry out a Money Transfer or we agree in writing with you that we will not do so (each a “Cancellation”), and you do not give us immediate instructions in writing to carry out an alternative Money Transfer, we reserve the right to treat the Contract as terminated by you and the provisions of clause 8.5 will apply.

14.4 Unauthorized Money Transfer

14.4.1 We may be liable to you under the Regulations where we perform a Money Transfer for you that you did not authorize us to perform.

14.4.2 Where you believe we may have performed such a Money Transfer, you should let us know as soon as possible. We will then investigate the matter.

14.5.4 You will not be entitled to the remedy mentioned in clause 14.5.3:

• (a) if you do not inform us by notice in writing without undue delay (and in any event not later than 180 days after the date on which the incorrect Money Transfer was performed) on your becoming aware that failure by us to perform a Money Transfer authorized by you or incorrect performance by us of a Money Transfer authorized by you may have occurred; or
• (b) where we are able to show that the authorized amount was received at the appropriate time by the person to whom you instructed us to send the funds; or
• (c) if the failure to perform or incorrect performance was due to you or any Authorized Person providing us with incomplete or incorrect information or was otherwise due to your fault or the fault of any Authorized Person.

14.5.5 We will have no liability to you for failure to perform or incorrect performance of a Money Transfer where the reason for this was our refusal to proceed with that Money Transfer or any part of it as a result of our efforts to comply with the Regulations and applicable laws.

14.6 Refusal to perform a Money Transfer

14.6.1 We may refuse to perform a Money Transfer at any time for any reason (including without limitation in the event that we believe, in our sole discretion, that performance of such Money Transfer represents a legal, regulatory or financial risk to us).

• (a) unless it is unlawful for us to do so, we will tell you;
• (b) if possible, we will let you know our reasons for our refusal; and

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

16.1 Any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled exclusively by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling AAA at 1-800-778- 7879. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”) shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforceability of this provision notwithstanding any other choice of law provision contained in this Agreement.

You should review this arbitration provision carefully. This provision limits your and the Company’s ability to litigate claims in court and you and the Company each agree to waive our respective rights to a jury trial. Any arbitration under this provision shall take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You will not have the right to participate as a class representative, private attorney general, or as a member of any class of claimants for any claim subject to arbitration. A claim by, or on behalf of, other persons will not be considered in, joined with, or consolidated with, the arbitration proceedings between you and us. Any dispute regarding the prohibitions in the prior sentence shall be resolved by the arbitrator in accordance with this arbitration provision.

16.2 A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). Any Notice to the Company should be addressed to 7001 Village Drive, Suite 200, Buena Park, California 90621, Attention: Legal Department (“Company Notice Address”). Any Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and the Company do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or we are entitled.

16.3 You and we agree, upon written demand made by you or us, to submit to binding arbitration all disputes, controversies, and claims, whether based on contract, tort, fraudulent misrepresentation, statute, regulation, constitution, common law, equity, or any other legal basis or theory, and whether pre-existing, present, or future, that arise out of or relate to this Agreement, Money Transfer services, or the benefits provided by them, or any advertisements, promotions, or oral or written statements related to Money Transfer services, or the relationships that result from the purchase and use of Money Transfer services, or the scope or enforceability of this Agreement, including the determination of the applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (collectively, a “Claim”).

16.4 The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the Parties, or in the absence of such agreement within thirty (30) days from the first referral of the dispute to AAA, designated by AAA. The arbitrator shall be an active member in good standing of the bar for any state in the continental United States and shall be either actively engaged in the practice of law for at least 5 years, or a retired judge. You and we understand that in an arbitration, discovery is more limited than in a court and review by courts is very limited. The place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California or, if you so elect within fifteen (15) days from the first referral of the dispute to AAA, in the federal judicial district of your residence, and you will be given the opportunity to attend the proceeding and be heard. The arbitral award shall be final and binding. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims court.

16.5 Each Party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (a) to compel arbitration; (b) to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies or measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration; (c) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to enforce intellectual property rights; and (d) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award. In no event shall any Party be entitled to punitive, exemplary or similar damages.

16.6 You and we agree that the arbitrator: i) shall limit discovery to non-privileged matters directly relevant to the arbitrated dispute; ii) shall grant only relief that is based upon and consistent with substantial evidence and applicable substantive law; iii) shall have authority to grant relief only with respect to Claims asserted by or against you individually; and iv) shall provide a written statement stating the disposition of each claim and a concise written explanation of the basis for the award and shall make specific findings of fact and conclusions of law to support any arbitration award. Unless inconsistent with applicable law, and except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall bear the expense of its respective attorney, expert, and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. We will pay to AAA the portion of the arbitration filing fee that exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit in the federal court where you live. If you are unable to pay the filing fee, we will pay it directly upon receiving a written request. We will pay all of the remaining administration fees and other costs, including the arbitrator’s fees, for any non-frivolous claim (measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)) that does not exceed $15,000. For all other claims, the arbitrator will decide whether we or you ultimately will be responsible for paying any fees or other costs in connection with the arbitration under the applicable Rules.

16.7 If we made a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, and the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits that is greater than the value of the Company’s last settlement offer, then we will: i) pay you the amount of the arbitrator’s award or $5,500 (the “alternative award”) whichever is greater; and ii) pay your attorney twice the amount of reasonable attorneys’ fees, plus reimbursement for expenses (including expert witness fees and costs), that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing and pursuing your claims in arbitration (the “attorney premium”).

16.8 If we did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, and the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits, you and your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative award and the attorney premium, respectively.

16.9 If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision will remain valid and enforceable. This arbitration provision shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.
